An option I carefully considered and deliberated on.
Reasons were many, from having just got it, wanting to get to know the car, wanting to learn to drive better before adding twice the power, not wanting to drop 5k+ on FI all at once just after getting the car. Also, haven't come across a FI setup I like yet. I did want to enjoy it to the max till then.
I don't necessarily consider it a total waste, now I have a go to professional tuner for all my tuning needs. Especially, when I do go forced induction which will happen before the year is out.
This is sounding promising from what has been shared so far. I will go boost with Vit Tuned soon enough!

Well he sounds like a good tuner and I'm glad there is another option in the PNW area.
The turbo kit imo isn't rocket science, and its pretty much top mount, bottom mount and the weird rear mount STS kit. Turbo size is pretty much dependent on your application and driving style, supporting mods are all pretty much the same (injectors/pump/rad/fans/oil coolers) and piping can only be done a certain way no matter how creative you can get (Ptuning may be the most creative?).
After that, its all marketing and hype.
The tuning will make or break the kit, and as much as everyone hates on PRE, mine was pretty pain free. Although I usually get lucky with these things or perhaps its my outlook on things.
Regardless, it was completely streetable (the suspension setup was more of a pain), tracked fine, auto-X fine, road trips to seattle fine, idle'd fine, AFR looked great, oil temp good and only thing that I was going to upgrade next was my radiator due to higher than my comfort zone temps during stop and go traffic in the summer.
I'm sure there are a lot of people doing fine with the AVO through drift office, SC/Turbo kits from PRE, and as much as I like to make fun of Visconti, there's probably more success stories of tuned GT-R's than burned down one's.
I work in medical so I know the Bell Curve theory, some will have it fucking awesome, most land in the middle, and some will get the shit end of the stick, typically happening to them over and over again. Its a strange phenomena, but bad luck tends to linger around the same person time and time again.
